Changes...

The problem with infrequent posts is that posts become monumental not incidental. Colin (aka Big Mac) was born about a year and a half ago. Speedbump has blown past three years old and is now such a little person. Big stuff, but... but, for me the biggest change (I know I know, a second kid is a big deal..) has been a change in jobs. If you're reading this Colin I'm sorry if you feel slighted. The first child is such a huge shock to the system (especially one like your brother), but the second, well you've adjusted, you've changed, just wait till you have kids... Still not buying it huh? Yeah I know, I'm sorry Mac, sorry I haven't written your post, I will get to it. In the meantime.. my job change.

What I want to document is my job change. Neither of the boys will remember my time at UT. I moved out, finished college, got married, had two kids, bought a house, got a dog while working at UT. So much life happened in and around work that quantifying that time is hard. I hated to leave. So many people and memories.
Some favorite memories..

"Don't anger the network gods.." me

"Shambala" Tony Murry

"Dudity.com" Michael Seils

"Enlargement is the only option.." Dr. Biggoms

Meditation in progress.. The Cone

Outfield Coca Cola Deck when Tony guessed attendance.

Screen shotting Will's desktop then hiding his icons.

Office Space day when Biggom's daughter was born.

Yoda theft... Heather

Diamond Level sitting next to Heather when no one knew we were dating.

Seeing Heather the first time sitting in Tony's cube.

I loved my 20's, and the first half of my 30's. My boys are like a movie trailer of a really awesome summer movie, I'm so looking forward to seeing them grow.

Maybe Speedbump will remember dropping by work the way I remember visiting my Dad up at the college he taught at when I was young. I don't think they will be able to understand the sentimental attachment to that place.

Thanks for so many great years UT.
